DIY leg warmers

So in between several screaming fits, I was able to get some quality time in with the new sewing machine. I love it and I’m totally planning for more projects.

I bought a bunch of socks on sale at Target the other day because the weather is turning a lot colder and The Little Empress spends a lot of time in onesies. I know, I could just put socks and pants on her but that’d make sense.

I found some tutorials including Cousin L’s tutorial as well as another Flickr tutorial. And, as I usually do, I skimmed the instructions and went… dude, I could totally do this!

And off I went! And this is what I came up with…

DIY Leg Warmers

Sewing Lesson #2 – READ THE TUTORIALS THOROUGHLY. Because this is what happens when you don’t. Oops.

So I read the tutorials again… slower this time… went OH! Oops. And then came up with this…

DIY leg warmers

Woohoo! Yes! Third time’s a charm! It isn’t perfect but at least they are wearable and they’ll keep her legs warm. I’ve got plenty of socks to make more.

And here’s The Little Empress with her new warm legs!

Modeling her new leg warmers

I can feel the sewing bug biting me. I’ve been looking around the house for scraps to start a few more projects, including sewing up some more prefold diapers for The Little Empress.
